UIM support for Common Information Model (CIM)

Products

• DX Unified Infrastructure Management (Nimsoft / UIM)

Issue/Introduction

According to article https://theitbros.com/snmp-service-on-windows-10:

Microsoft plans to completely remove the SNMP service in the next Windows builds because of the security risks associated with this protocol. Instead of SNMP, it is recommended to use the Common Information Model (CIM), which is supported by Windows Remote Management. On the current builds of Windows 10, the SNMP service is hidden.

Does UIM support discovering windows 10 machines via CIM? 

Environment

Release : 20.3

Component : UIM - HUB

Resolution

At the moment, UIM does not support CIM. (no ETA, as of JUNE 2021) 

Additional Information

UIM supports monitoring Windows Servers using a locally installed UIM robot and dedicated probes (CDM, processes, ntevl etc..) OR remote monitoring (agentless) (rsp, snmpcollector, net_connect, Discovery) which do not require CIM
